French and Indian War

     The French and Indian War took place in 1754. The war was fought between French colonies and British colonies . At the start of the war the British colonies had a population of two-million people where as the French had only a population of sixty-thousand. That meant the French had to rely on there allies the Indians. The war started when both sides could not come to an agreement on who should control the rivers and bays conflicts expanded as the war continued to grow. The main reason the war started was trade routes and who controlled them. At the end of the war the British conquered almost all of the french colonies land, and what little land the french had left they sold to the Spanish colonies. As a result of the war, the colonists lost respect for Britian's army and the French lost almost all of there land.
